This is the kind of place you want to go to when you want to go with someone and talk about something that you’ve been putting away for a long time.
Food here takes at around 45-60 min, so know that. Make sure you have a reservation! You could be lucky and find a table.
Would I come back?
Most definitely. Food was so good, worth the wait. No, I don’t mind the long wait time for good food! Yet in my own humble opinion it was a solid B+

Eh. Its ok. Really wants to be fine dining. Located near USA campus. A bit overpriced but the college kids do not know better concerning the quality or price. Also there are a few items featured on the website that aren't on the menu.

I’ve been coming here for years. Last night was the best so far. I had the Pan Seared Unicorn, I’ve never had a better piece of fish on the coast! It was SO buttery & savory. I thoroughly enjoyed that. My girlfriend got the lasagna and she enjoyed that as well. Both of our dishes were hot and fresh!
Our server was quite friendly and attentive. Of course the restaurant is small and that’s fine, doesn’t bother us one bit. Will absolutely be back!
Thank you guys for a wonderful meal!

Food and service was acceptable. Parking lot is a little tight for a large car or truck.

It was excellent, however, it was really loud and we couldn't have an intimate conversation. It was our 38th Anniversary.

Definitely one of my favorite spots for a dinner out, harder to get into in recent years so definitely recommend a reservation. Brought in a friend down from Tennessee who also worked fine dining in our younger years and both were extremely happy. The food was excellent as always and simply love the consistency of this place. My guest loved it just as much if not more. Been a long time fan and look to many more years here at Via Emilia!

Make a reservation to ensure avail table.l and review board for menu or online only. The place is small and loud due to small place and close proximity of guest and tables. The wine was great. My chicken was cold in spots, the lasagna was good and piping hot. Dinner for 2 around $110
We had a reservation for 6:30 table of 2 on Saturday. The restaurant was semi busy. Our water was good but definitely overworked and running back and forth. Our main plate took over 2 hours to get at that point we wanted to go home. We had a table next to us that arrived half an hour after us and they got their meals before us and left. Watched 3 different tables arrive about 7pm and they were done after an hour. No complaints on the food quality just very slow service. It will be the last time we go. When you spend over $150 for a meal the food should arrive in a timely manner.

Fantastic food, great ambience, and good wine selection. Prices were as expected for the type of establishments. Only thing is the chairs in the courtyard were uncomfortable! Definitely going back, though!

Had a great time there with family and the food was amazing. Our server was incredible. She made sure our glasses were full and checked on us multiple times. I had never eaten there and my niece suggested and it was an excellent choice.

Dining at Via Emilia is very relaxing and quiet easy to have conversations with friends. The Chicken piccata and Marsala are top notch. Fresh salads also.Intimate dining experience

Wonderful place. Local feel, Southern kindness. World-class flavor. This is a MUST when in Mobile.
